My tour seemed very disorganized and scattered. The guide, Suzy, was nice but started the tour around 20 minutes past the starting time and ran about 10 minutes late at the end. She had some interesting facts but the tour wasn’t cohesive. Also the description of the tour makes it look like we’ll get beignets and cafe au lait at the end and won’t have to wait in line. Instead the guide just gave us coupons to get them on our own later. I wouldn’t do this tour again.

They canceled my tour at the last minute and I was not able to book another tour. We cannot get a refund at the last minute, they should not be able to cancel at the last minute

Nate, our guide, was great. Lots of great information, fun facts, etc. It was both entertaining and informative. Be sure to choose the Cafe DuMonde option for an extra special treat at the end.

The tour leader Jonn, brought the tour to life with his knowledge of the New Orleans area. Most of all, you could tell from the way he presented the history, it was with genuine passion. I believe it made the tour much more enjoyable and connected to the culture of NOLA. Also, thanks for this tour allowing me to have my first beignet.

Our guide Johnn was amazing. We had a hard time with the parking spot app but he called us to check in to make sure we were on the way. He told us all the fabulous places to get the NOLA specialties and took great pictures of us for the honeymoon album. He was great. Enjoyed him and the tour so much.

The only complaint I had with the tour was walking in the heat. That is not a fixable problem for the tour company. The guide was both knowledgeable and entertaining. His comments also included tips on what else to do during our visit. Overall a great experience.

This is a walking tour that comes with two coupons to Cafe du Monde. You do NOT visit the cafe during the tour. You do get some history and get to watch some of the baking process. This is a history tour of the city. I did learn so really cool things. Our guide was knowledgable.
